HOUSTON, March 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Innovative Beverage Group Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets: IBGH) announced today that it has signed a deal with Select Drink, Inc. to expand distribution of its proprietary product, drank(TM), the world’s first extreme relaxation beverage, in the St. Louis, MO market.

Backed by an 89-year history of growth and service, Select Drink, Inc. is perhaps most well-known as a Coca-Cola distributor in the greater St. Louis area where the company provides non-alcoholic beverages, including Coca-Cola(R) Syrups, Dr. Pepper(R) Syrups, Roaring Lion(R), Slush Puppie(R) and other juices and canned sodas to large supermarkets and convenience stores throughout the market. Through Select Drink’s existing relationships with major retailers in the market, the company has already been able to stock drank(TM) in popular convenience and grocery stores, including Crown Food Marts, 7-Eleven, Phillips 66 and Dierbergs Markets.

“St. Louis has been very receptive to adopting drank(TM), so much so that we had to expand our distribution and look to a large, local distributor to keep up with the growing demand for our product in this area,” said Peter Bianchi, CEO of Innovative Beverage Group. “Along with its expertise in representing well-known brands that have been around for years, Select Drink, Inc. has the existing relationships with local retailers that are instrumental in building brands and expanding distribution of a new and innovative product like drank(TM).”

“We’ve been hearing a lot of talk about the trend of relaxation beverages, so carrying a product like drank(TM) just made sense to us. After all, there are times when every one of us could use a great-tasting, non-alcoholic beverage to help us relax after a stressful day,” said John Kinsella, Jr., Vice President of Select Drink, Inc. “drank(TM) has already been selling well in the St. Louis stores where it has been available and we look forward to expanding distribution of this unique product throughout the St. Louis area to bring a new wave of relaxation to the market.”

Worth, Waco, Livingston and Austin, TX; Baton Rouge, Lafayette and Shreveport, LA; Las Vegas, NV; Nashville, Murfreesboro, Franklin, Columbia, Clarksville, Memphis and Jackson, TN; Jackson, MS; and St. Louis, MO.
